Shepherds arise, be not afraid,
With hasty steps repair
To David's city, sing all earth,
With our blest infant, our blest infant there,
With our blest infant there, with our blest infant
there.
Chorus:
Sing, sing all earth,
Sing, sing all earth, eternal praises sing
To our Redeemer,
To our Redeemer and our heavenly King.
Laid in a manger view a Child,
Humility divine,
Sweet innocence sounds meek and mild,
Grace in his features, in his features shine,
Grace in his features shine, grace in his features shine.
Chorus:
For us the Saviour came on earth,
For us his life he gave,
To save us from eternal death
And raise us from, and raise us from the grave,
And raise us from the grave, and raise us from the grave.
Chorus:
